Dharmasena Yakandawela is passionate about people – the workers who keep our society running, the underdogs who feel they don’t have a voice, and the faces who make up the community he loves.

As a former judge and currently a lawyer, Dharmasena has had the privilege of hearing the stories of people from all over Abbotsford—South Langley. He is not only familiar with the daily struggles that people are facing – he's living them. Like most of his fellow constituents, Dharmasena is working tirelessly to raise his young family in the face of an impossible cost-of-living crisis. Whether it be skyrocketing grocery prices or rapidly increasing crime rates, Dharmasena understands the concerns of his community and is ready to do his part to provide lasting solutions.

Dharmasena is a strong believer that the government should serve Canadians – not ultra-rich CEOs and corporations. After decades of Liberal and Conservative governments, the gap between the billionaires and everyone else is wider than ever. Canadians aren’t being given a fair shot at a decent life.

If elected as the MP for Abbotsford—South Langley, Dharmasena and the NDP will make life more affordable by finally putting people – not corporations – first.
